scribbulus_ink, posting in lupin_snape @ 8:15pm: Snupin Santa 2008 Master List!
Here it is - the master list of gifts posted in the Snupin Santa 2008 Fest! All gifts are listed in the order in which they were posted.

Gifts marked with an asterisk were included in the "Hot Rec/Hot Art" section of the Daily Snitch newsletter, although some might not have appeared yet because I just sent them in today.

The general stats are at the bottom of the post.

I added the names of those authors/artists who were attributed to each gift beneath, and the list of those who voted correctly is below. The results were quite interesting, especially when people who weren't in the fest were given votes, and one participant was voted as having written for herself. *G*

( Snupin Santa 2008 Master List )

( Snupin Santa 2008 Stats )

ATTENTION 2008 PARTICIPANTS:

Now that the master list is up, I'm going to work on switching the gifts to the creator's account. I'm not sure how long it will take, but I'll let everyone know when I'm finished. In addition to being able to edit your stories/art at the site, you'll receive comment notifications for new feedback if you've turned on that option for your account, and you'll be able to respond to feedback left in response to the story/art.

If you want your story/art switched to your account, you need to let me know what your account name on the Snupin Santa site is ASAP, especially if it's different from your IJ/LJ ID. If you've participated in previous years and want your older stories/art switched to your account, leave a comment identifying which stories you want switched with a link.

Also, if you have not said thank you for your gift(s) yet, PLEASE DO SO. Someone did their best to create something, and it deserves to be acknowledged in some way, even if it's just "Thank you, I appreciate the effort you made for me".

Thanks again to all participants, pinch hitters, readers, reccers, and commenters! Double thanks to kopernik, real_life_rosy, and jedirita for helping out this year! Snupin Santa 2008 produced some wonderful stories and art, and I'm proud that it was a successful fest this year.

See you again for Snupin Santa 2009!

nehalenia, posting in lupin_snape @ 6:53pm: Dear Mods: Thank you for all the Awesomeness!
Since I can't draw pretty pictures and I suck at drabbles (or at writing anything with a quick turnaround time), I'm going to follow hogwartshoney's lead and simply offer my most heartfelt thanks to scribbulus_ink and her helpers jedirita, kopernik and real_life_rosy. Snupin Santa is a truly exceptional fest. I was so impressed with it when I joined fandom in 2006, and have had so much fun participating in it these last two years. Thank you so much for all your time and energy in making this such a wonderful, well-run fest. I don't think I'm going out on a limb by saying that Snupin Santa is what the whole lupin_snape community looks forward to each year -- I know I do -- and even tho the holidays can be stressful, this fest never disappoints. Thank you again, and please know that your efforts are appreciated. *smooches mods*

lore, posting in lupin_snape @ 7:48pm: Mod Post: Chat is Live! Also, Reminders galore!

Official chat is on now, so come on in to the chat room and join us as we wait for the big snupin_santa reveal! We'll be in there at least 3 - 4 hours, chatting away about all things Snupin.

Other Quick and Dirty Community Reminders:

"Thank Yous" to the Snupin_Santa mods can continue to be posted whenever you finish them.

Snape's Birthday Challenge claims are ongoing through Friday here.

Time for new Thematic List Theme suggestions! Take the poll here.

It's not quite too late to post your Snupin Santa recs on IJ or on LJ. In fact, if you post recs after the reveal and want to link them there, authors and artists can always check back and send the Snitch their rec links themselves, as McKay will stop doing it on her own after the reveal.

The Desktop Calendar is here. Artists, feel free to post your individual pieces so people can gush at you. ~_^

The January Theme Search is Mystery stories, and it's here.

It's not too late to give your input on our Snupin: Bigger, Longer and Uncut (BLU!), which is our version of a Big Bang, here.

Finally, Kudos to bronze_ribbons, who always faithfully posts the Moonshadow update. I hope she'll be busy after Snupin Santa with everyone archiving their work there... *g*

love, lore

ellid @ 7:43pm: Belated Christmas thanks
To the following kind and generous people:

To harpnfiddle, for a beautiful little Teneriffe lace butterfly.

To Una and her mother, for a plush bathrobe that nearly makes me swoon every time I put it on.

To helwen, for a curious and very effective little "lotion bar" that looks like soap and becomes shea butter hand lotion when rubbed between the palms.

To arionrhod, for a lovely flower arrangement with balsam, juniper, and a snowglobe.

To the anonymous fandom writer who fulfilled my request better than I could have imagined.

To everyone who sent me a holiday card and brightened my living room with reminders of friendship.

To Todd and Barbara, for a wonderful book on the Middle Ages.

To bronze_ribbons, for a curious, elegantly quirky little book on the little-known and fascinating aspects of travel in Italy.

To all my friends, here and out in the world, for being you. *hug*

drusillas_rain, posting in lupin_snape @ 3:19pm: Snape's birthday drabble
Title: And then Remus James Utechin brought him a cup of tea and smiled shyly
Rating: PG
Word Count: 100
Prompt: “Alec Hopkins” (the actor who portrays young Snape in the films)
Warning: Real-Person drabble. Also, the only snupin is in the title, but it's implied in the after parts.


He hadn’t been on the set long, but already Alec got the sense that others were avoiding him in between takes. Yeah, they weren’t supposed to like each other – on camera - but he’d never been treated so poorly by fellow actors before.

Going over lines for another audition, he sat quietly in a corner until they needed him. Then he noticed Alan Rickman skulking about. The other actors and crew were avoiding him too, and Alec wanted to jump up and should “This is Alan fucking Rickman!”

Severus Snape was right – they really were all a bunch of idiots.

This year's fest was absolutely fantastic. I don't mind telling you all that even though it was Christmas-time, and even though there were TONS of things to be done, for me, it all faded into something manageable once the day's posts were in! ;o)  I squeed loudly and often.

You've all made the fest a wonderful, joyous and exciting place to hang out this Christmas, and mere words of thanks really aren't enough, but they're all I have. Right now.

Beaucoup hugs to you all

I would have posted this a bit sooner, but my internet went down. We will be having a chat at 8 p.m. EST tomorrow (Wednesday), which should coincide with the Snupin Santa reveal. So, if you want to squee or ask questions or just watch the conversations scroll up the screen, come join us!

We'll do a followup chat on Saturday at 3 p.m. EST to try to better accompany our overseas friends. (That is a good time, right?) We'll make it one last blow-out about Snupin Santa, and we'll also discuss things like Snupin: Bigger, Longer and Uncut, Chocolate and Asphodel and Snape's birthday! Bring your swimming trunks!

Title: Coward

Summary: Severus was extremely brave. ...Except maybe when it came to someone in particular.
Disclaimer: I own not the characters, only the words thus written.
Note: I originally wrote a drabble, exactly 100 words. But then I saw that it doesn't have to be a drabble; it can be whatever we like (correct me if I am wrong). So! It grew on me...like...seriously. It just kept...going. I'm so sorry.

( Look, Sev...I even gave you a happy(ish) ending, despite initially not wanting to. Happy bloody birthday. )

(edit: just noticed I had spelled "Moony" two different ways... Fixed now.)

nehalenia, posting in lupin_snape @ 9:50pm: A Snupin Santa Tribute Recipe: Oysters Leviosa
I must confess that, for good or ill, I am one of those very suggestible people who want to eat whatever food I am reading about. For instance, when I was reading Sandra Cisneros’ Caramelo late one evening, I was so overcome with the desire for Mexican sweets that I drove all the way downtown to Mi Tierra (which is not only open 24 hours but has an astounding Mexican bakery and confectionary) and came trundling home with bags of pink and yellow sweet buns and dulce de leche and even half a candied orange, which I then nibbled on while finishing the book. Just so, when reading the above-mentioned story, Captain Malfoy’s apparent obsession with The Coconut had a similar effect on me, and I found myself wondering if I couldn’t find some Oyster and Coconut dish that might have the promised effects. I couldn’t come up with anything off-hand, i.e. in the frozen foods aisle, so I decided to make something up.

Having never fried oysters before, I fell back on the closest thing, which was my grandmother’s salmon croquette recipe. (It’s fish. It’s fried. It was the best I could do.) Except when frying okra, my grandmother didn’t bread things in cornmeal, preferring to use either crushed up cornflakes or cracker meal. Since I had no cornflakes but did have saltines, I ground them up and used that.

This recipe worked for me. I’ve tried to recount my somewhat erratic cooking efforts here in hopes that, should you so desire, it will work for you as well.

I hereby offer and dedicate this humble recipe as a tribute to our wonderful Snupin Santa mod scribbulus_ink and her worthy assistants jedirita, kopernik and real_life_rosy, and also to the story which inspired it. Thus, I give you:

Your hard work on the Snupin Santa fest was the best and brightest part of my holidays. You did an extraordinary job, and I am so very grateful that the fest went forward.

I love you all. Thank you.
